All of the H-19's that appeared at Chandler Memorial were moved from a compound at Mesa Field where I saw them way back in October 1976. 55-3178 was not one of them but 55-3187 was; in addition there was not an H-19 ending in 25046 but present was 57-5946. May be some digit trouble.

Many thanks for that. Digit trouble highly likely, as markings were very faint. Do you have a date for 55-3178 to France?
Also a cn for 55-3187 and 57-5946?

More or less straight away, I think they were MDAP serials?

55-3187 c/n 55913
57-5946 c/n 551242

As an aside, I thought all Sikorsky c/ns had a hyphen after the type? So 55-913 and 55-1242, etc.

Many thanks.
